[SOCALWUG] Re: Verizon terminating EVDO accounts for excessive usage

The radio frequencies that WiMax will use are outlined and discussed in this WikiPedia article on WiMax:

The 802.16 specification applies across a wide swath of RF specrutm, but specification is not the same as permission to use. There is no uniform global licensed spectrum for WiMAX. In the US, the biggest segment available is around 2.5GHz, and is already assigned, primarily to Sprint Nextel. Elsewhere in the world, the most likely bands used will be around 3.5GHz, 2.3/2.5GHz, or 5GHz, with 2.3/2.5 GHz probably being most important in Asia.

There is some prospect that some of a 700MHz band might be made available for WiMAX use, but it is currently assigned to the analog TV and awaits the complete rollout of HD digital TV before it can become available, likely by 2009. And, in any case, there will be other uses suggested for that spectrum if and when it actually becomes open.

It seems likely that there will be several variants of 802.16, depending on local regulatory conditions and thus on which spectrum is used. Even if everything but the underlying radio frequencies is the same. WiMAX equipment will not, therefore, be as portable as it might have been. And perhaps even less so than WiFi, whose assigned channels in unlicensed spectrum varies more than a little from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

Use the whole encyclopedia article for more information.
